Successful Spelling provides an integrated method of teaching phonics, spelling and vocabulary. Book 2 provides students with user-friendly activities to master and develop spelling skills for this year of education. During this year students experience more of the complex ways we form words using letters in a correct sequence. They develop strategies for using sounds and visual patterns to help them strengthen and reinforce their knowledge, building up a comprehensive supply of ready words for written work. The activities are sequential and there are 76 units - 18 per term - plus four Review and Test units. Answers to all activities are provided in a special lift-out section. Each term is divided into the four areas of knowledge needed to develop a comprehensive mastery of spelling: Phonological Knowledge - how words sound; Word Function Knowledge - how word function can change spelling; Meaning Knowledge - how context can change word form; Word History Knowledge - how words have been derived.
